Hood On/Off Toggle?

I found a way to keep the hood down, on the commendations vendor on Hoth sells a Elder Vindicator's Headgear, for some reason when you equip it it forces the hood to turn off. Now if you want the hood to come back up go into the social options and turn off the helm display.

Partially confirmed, via the CTRL left/click preview. Unfortunately the Elder Vindicator's Headgear is Heavy Armor, and I'm incapable of wearing this piece because I'm a Sentinel. However, it indeed *appears* that wearing this piece is a solution.

Clearly this invalidates the argument that artwork would have to be redone for a /hood option to be implemented, since as far as the game client is concerned, rendering of the the hood can be easily suppressed depending on the headpiece (or in this case an eye visor).

Too bad I didn't roll a Guardian, I'd be all over this little item.

1) Hood suppressed is not the same as hood down. Though; if you're careful, ANY SINGLE piece in the game that has a hood, you can see a hood down version on the NPCs (especially on Tython, if you play a consular you'll meet things that makes you cry if you started with a Jedi Knight). So yeah kinda right. The hood is just a clipping part, and they have both up and down made :/ .

2) There's a medium helmet which is what you're looking for, check out the GTN. My Sentinel has it. It's not a visor, it doesn't hide the face, and lets the hair visible.

Either let me toggle the hood, or let my hair show normally while wearing it.

"Love doesn't lead to the dark side. Passion can lead to rage and fear, and can be controlled, but passion is not the same thing as love. Controlling your passions while being in love, that's what they should teach you to beware, but love itself will save, not condemn you." ―Jolee Bindo
